British Gas owner Centrica warning on storage will not affect supply, says network

The UK has sufficient gas supplies to meet winter demands despite concerns from Centrica about low storage levels due to colder weather. National Gas reported that the overall gas storage across the UK's main sites is healthy, with enough to manage demand through diverse sources, including imports from Europe and LNG shipments. Although Centrica highlighted low storage at its facility, experts suggest that a physical shortage is unlikely, particularly with milder weather forecasted soon. Centrica plans to invest in its gas storage capacity to include hydrogen, anticipating future shifts in the energy mix towards greener solutions.
